Springfield Museums Exhibits at the Boston Flower Show

March 12, 2018

The Boston Flower & Garden Show will once again transform the Seaport World Trade Center into New England’s largest greenhouse from March 14-18, 2018.

And the Springfield Museums will be in attendance, showcasing the first and only museum dedicated to Springfield native Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss. The Cat in the Hat statue given to the Springfield Museums by the Children of the Springfield Schools will hold court surrounded by a giant red and white striped arch, panels with a variety of Seuss characters, and a giant book telling the story of Ted Geisel in Springfield and the making of the Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum.

Come celebrate the creativity of Springfield’s native son as you enjoy the inspiration and creativity of master gardeners from throughout Boston. Take a selfie and label it #SeussInSpringfield and you might find yourself featured on the Museums’s social media.

Colorful life-sized gardens and unique floral designs will “Savor Spring!” – this year’s Show theme – by incorporating elements of the popular food gardening trend. Included will be organics, small-space gardens, homesteading hobbies, edibles-as-ornamentals and family-friendly spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining.

“Enjoy the first taste of spring at the Show. Gather all of the recipes and ingredients you’ll need for a year of successful gardening,” said Carolyn Weston, Boston Flower & Garden Show Director.
